Os eventos e os lugares na construção do raciocínio geográfico

Abstract

We live in a world that is in constant transformation, for this reason, it is necessary to look for ways to understand it in the geographic scope. That is, in this scenario, Geography makes it possible to understand these transformations that occurred daily that impact the places where we live. The present work presents some theoretical reflections on events and places in the construction of geographic reasoning at school. To this end, we used Milton Santos (1996) as the main theoretical source. Based on this author's theory, we seek to establish relationships between place, world, and geographic events in the construction of geographic reasoning. The main objective of this work is to reflect on geographic education based on the construction of geographic reasoning from geographic situations that reveal events and places. This investigation begins with theoretical reflections on the concepts of geographic space, place, event, and geographic situation; later we carry out a theoretical reflection in search of a definition for the concept of geographic reasoning, for that we search in the epistemology of geographic knowledge the theoretical matrices of understanding of the geographic principles that are essential for the construction of this reasoning that is particularly geographic. Finally, we present two didactic proposals to be worked on in Geography classes. These proposals have the potential to teach Geography through the theoretical concepts of Milton Santos, aiming at the construction of geographic reasoning in the school scope
